Chrono x Tokoha : The Challenges

Turn 18: Time To Go

Tokoha: "Chrono!"

Chrono: "Hm? Oh you're finally here."

Tokoha: "Yeah, so what is it that you want to talk about?"

Chrono: "So... I'll just cut straight to the chase."

Tokoha: He's not going to...

Yoshiaki realized that his daughter is not in her room. He tries to search her around the house but she's nowhere to be seen...

Yoshiaki: "Mamoru."

Mamoru: "Yes?"

Yoshiaki: "Where is Tokoha?"

Mamoru: "Oh she went to go get some fresh air."

Yoshiaki: "Lies!"

Mamoru: "Eh?"

Yoshiaki: "He's meeting that brat again right?! They both really are something..." (Wanting to go out)

Mamoru: (Stopped him) "Wait father!"

Yoshiaki: "What?!"

Mamoru: (Sigh) "It's time to let them both talk... at least for the last time."

Yoshiaki: "Definitely no-wait what?"

Mamoru: "That's right... because he..."

At That Place

Chrono: "I... will go to America for college."

Tokoha: "Eh?! That means..."

Chrono: "Yeah, in 2 months I'll leave Japan. So we will have the same path... going abroad."

Tokoha: "Why didn't you tell me? And since when..."

Chrono: "I really want to tell you but knowing our situation at the time, I'm trying to hide it. During that period when we have problems with your father, Aichi offered me to go to the same college as him. I accepted the offer, took the test and I passed. All of that really took the toll on me and it really pains me a lot that I can't really tell you or celebrate this moment with you. Although I did give you some hints like me deciding to study from Monday until Friday."

Tokoha: "You really think that I will notice with that kind of hint?"

Chrono: "No..."

Tokoha: (Sigh) "Does Shion and the others know?"

Chrono: "Yeah, otherwise there's no way all of these will happen. I can't do it without them..."

Tokoha: "And you really left me with that?"

Chrono: "Tokoha... I have no choice..."

Tokoha: "What does your problem with my father has to do with this?"

Chrono: "It has to do with that..."

Tokoha: "Eh?"

Chrono: "Tokoha... I really can't stand your father anymore. Everytime I see him, it really is sickening. I can't stand him disrespecting me like that. I really want to get away from him... far away from him..."
